NBC already has one medical TV show on the schedule with Chicago Med and another one, The Night Shift, is expected to return this summer. Does the peacock network need a third? Will Heartbeat be a ratings success or DOA? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Set at the fictional St. Matthew’s Hospital, Heartbeat follows a cardio-thoracic surgeon, Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George), as she tries to juggle her personal and professional lives. She eagerly fights authority, particularly when it comes to her patients’ health and well-being. The rest of the cast includes Dave Annable, Don Hany, Joshua Leonard, Jamie Kennedy, D.L. Hughley, Shelley Conn, Maya Erskine, and J. Louis Mills.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/13 update: NBC has cancelled Heartbeat after one season. Details here.
5/26 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Heartbeat TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this show was waiting for next season.
I knew if I liked the show it would be cancelled. I’m apparently the kiss of death for TV shows….
I love this show. It is the one show I look forward to all week. It is well-written, original, and the cast is great.
I would hate to see Heartbeat cancelled. It’s such a great show. I’m not one to be interested in medical tv series, but I scrolled and gave this one a shot. Lo and behold I fell in love with it. It’s a great balance of personal and medical and not too much drama in the hospital when it comes to relationships. This show has definitely got my attention and wanting to see what’s going to happen next. Give it another shot!
I love this show!! Please don’t cancel it!! I love the whole cast!!
Please, Please, Please do NOT cancel HEARTBEAT!!! I had a feeling I was gonna like this show so I waited until almost all of the episodes had been shown so I could binge watch them all at once. I immediately fell in love with the show and continued to get more invested in the show after each episode. I fell in love with Jessy one minute and gorgeous Dr. Pearce the next minute. I railed at the TV for Jessy constantly being around. I screamed and punched a pillow(multiple times) to get my aggression and sadness out from the sadness… Read more »
Please please don’t cancel this uplifting show. Based in a real life MD.Cancel STUPID and unrealistic Chicago Med(horrible actors),Grey’s Anatomy (which was my favorite)but now has run its course and has become silly…
I really liked Heartbeat until her father she found out her father had an affair for years. Then he showed her how she could also have an affair if she wished I was upset as that was a very wrong message he sent her. IA m glad that you showed Dr. Pearce walking away. I know that all French had mistresses in their day, but we have enough problems in America. I am glad that you showed that it was unacceptable.
Please don’t cancel Heartbeat!! It is one of the few nbc shows that I actually look forward to seeing and it has a great storyline and characters. It is one of the only 2016 season new shows that I’ve actually connected with. This show is as good as code black and greys anatomy and could very well be the next front runner once greys anatomy gets too expensive for ABC to afford their characters (ex desperate housewives, many other very popular programs). I don’t know where your supposed ratings come from but your demographics are skewed. This is a great… Read more »
This show took a little bit of time to develop. Most good shows start out that way. It’s better to develop into something really great for you to start out with a bang and physical from there which is what a lot of shows do. This show has a lot of heart (pardon the pun), interesting, passionate characters and a ton of CHEMISTRY which is necessary and addictive. I urge you to reconsider the cancellation of what is turning into a really great show!!!
The show started late in the season,there wasn’t much advertising about it and once we started watching it we were hooked. I don’t think you gave it a fair chance. I love the show I was voting for Jessie to be with Alex. I think if you did some more checking more people liked it then you know . just give it one more season or a summer season.
You asked for my comment and that’s my opinion and a few others I know.
Don’t cancel it! One of the few I was looking forward to!
I love Heartbeat. I’m so mad it’s being cancelled. Maybe it should be on a night where everything isn’t on. Wednesday’s is too full of shows.
Please renew Heartbeat; we look forward to watching this show every week! It’s funny, charming, and the cast is great! I love Alex’s no nonsense sass! Please please please keep it!!
There should be a season two please be a sesaon two
